Middle-aged, gay, vegan, southern, existentially obsessed fella here -- in the process of leaving behind 20+ years of quasi-spiritual agnosticism. I abandoned Christian mythology long ago, but losing the underlying faith in a purposefully designed reality has been more of a difficult transition than I imagined. I guess I'm here to commiserate to some extent. In many ways I think my life and my worldview would be in a much better place if I had been raised without religion. Ah well, it could have been much (much) worse.

Glad to be here and look forward to soaking in the goings-on and contributing where I can.

Nick, I found the forum via godisimaginary.com ... interesting stuff. I also recommend the 500 Questions about God & Christianity blog -- even though they've only posted 47 questions so far. These sites have helped me realize that I never really took my skepticism to its logical conclusions. Working through layers of programming is a never-ending task!

The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?We choose our own gods.

Hope this day finds you doing well... prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. Maya
